Featured in our July Beirut English Edition issue, the following five apps aim to get your weekend off to a great start. You can trust us on that one since, as usual, all have been tested and approved.
1.)Get three-dimensional… with your pics
Shapematic
iOS 7.0+: iPad, iPhone, Touch
Snap an object from every angle and this app can extrapolate a 3D image from your photographs. Early days, but a very clear idea indeed.

2.)Ready for landing
Flight
iOS 7.0+: iPad, iPhone, Touch
Give the app a flight number and it’ll show you where the plane is en-route providing you with estimated arrival times and even what gate to wait at.
